The event will also feature the launch of two advocacy music albums by Ferdy’s Band titled A Voice for Autism and Love of an Autism Mom.
According to the organisers, the albums are designed to use music as a platform to amplify the voices of individuals and families affected by autism while encouraging empathy and understanding within society.
“Music has a unique ability to unite people and communicate messages of hope,” the foundation said in a statement.
“Through this concert, we aim to create a platform where autism is better understood and families living with autism feel supported.”
